huh?

where is san... ?

Haha I like your story about the greg maddux ball.

Wait, so what am I arguing? haha

steroids didn't ruin baseball...if anything they helped it recover from the strike quicker and got many fans back into it - I can't stand the whole "purist" argument...the reality is that most fans don't care and personally I wouldn't care if they ALL did steroids and we saw more HRs, 120mph fastballs, and new records all over -

people are so obsessed about career recordbooks...thats the only reason this stuff matters

Sounds like a roy td :)

So it made that big of an impression on you when you were 11 years old? I don't think I can remember very much when I was 11. If you are a baseball fan then you like the sport regardless of what the players do.

players still inject things with needles all the time.....stuff thats perfectly legal.....its called cortizone.

Pretty sure this couldve been a blog.

At 26 your are still very very young dude. Congrats!

I remember getting crushed by the '94 strike. That year, I blew out my shoulder in a pickup basketball game and ruined my baseball career.... All I wanted to do was play baseball when I grew up and here were all the ballplayers, playing ball every day like I wanted to and I was unable to do now, making millions and that just wasn't enough for them.
I don't know when I started watching again, I think it might have been the 02 World Series

Steroids were illegal. They were, and are an illegal drug to use without a prescription. Just because they played ball didn't make it legal. I'm tired of people saying they were not illegal at that time.
